Garfield Elementary School

Garfield Elementary sits in Yakima, a city rooted in agriculture and Latino culture at the heart of Washington's wine and apple country — a community with a strong sense of identity and resilience. The school serves a neighborhood where many families are working hard to build stable futures, and while academic scores reflect the real challenges that come with high-need communities, families who value a close-knit school environment with dedicated staff may find it a meaningful fit. For those already planted in this part of Yakima, Garfield is a school where community connection often matters as much as the classroom.
